Hot off the press! Recent Coruzzi Lab Alum Chia-Yi Cheng's article was published today in Nature Communications. The article reveals the importance of using Machine Learning to predict “Genes of Importance” in agriculture and medicine. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Hi twitter, can you help us advertise that our lab Duke University is hiring a laboratory technician (and postdocs) to work on our newly funded NIH project? We investigate how cells use ubiquitin to respond to oxidative stress. Interested candidates please apply at tinyurl.com/silvalab



Janik Sielemann Donat Wulf Romy Schmidt-Schippers and I used DAP-seq data from Arabidopsis and tested how transcription factor specificity is coded. We identified DNA shape as a major contributor. Just out in Nature Communications today. rdcu.be/cBgAd






Be part of a revolution in photosynthesis research. Positions (postdoc, graduate, technician) in the Leonelli/Long/Brooks labs University of Illinois. Physiologists, molecular & comp. biologists needed to improve crop photosynthesis via systems biology. See ad: bit.ly/3ShX2WO
